You're not wrong. The NSA circa 2008 was probably doing some of the most algorithmically interesting CS work in the world. That said, I think that in terms of living with myself, sleeping well at night, and being able to travel the world without asking permission, not working there was the right call.

There are probably interesting jobs at drug cartels and in organised crime.
